Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the fresh sell.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is what's trending, all right, guys, is hurricane We
just did a hurricane story, a bunch of hurricane stories
last week.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Now we're doing it again. This is very serious again.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
The mayor of Tampa Bay issued a warning to Florida
residents who don't heat calls to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Milton.
The mayor there, Jane Caster. Well here, I'll let you
listen to what she had to say.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
It was.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Very direct.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
What would you say to people tonight who were saying,
you know what, I'm going to ride this out.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
I've written others out.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
What would you say to people who aren't hating those
evacuation orders?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Well, I can tell you right now that they may
have done that in others. There's never been one like this,
and this Helene was a wake up call. This is
literally catastrophic. And I can say, without any dramatization whatsoever,
if you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas,

(00:57):
you're going to die.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well wow, yeah, we were talking about this a couple
of weeks ago. Because none of us are from Florida,
but I mean every year around this time, you know,
we have all these hurricanes and all these warnings, and
it's you know, sometimes it misdirects or whatever, whatever the
proper terminology is. It sort of doesn't end up hitting,
and it's not as strong as it's supposed to be,
and all these things, and they're clearly getting more frequent

(01:22):
and more intense, it seems, at least as the years
go on.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
I mean, of course, you know me, I'm a scientist.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I'm constantly studying, you know, in the lab, these sorts
of things.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I'm just an observer, but it certainly seems like they're
getting more and more serious. And you know, at what point,
if you've been doing this for thirty years living in Florida,
do you go, Okay, now this one, I'm really going
to listen to them this time, because I have never
listened to them before, but this time I'm gonna listen.
I got to think at some point, you become kind
of conditioned to hearing this kind of news, and now
this one you gotta go. You gotta go, and people
are going, and I hope a lot of people go,

(01:53):
but you know there are people who will stay. And
you know, I wish them the best, of course, it's like,
but this puts so many people in danger. I mean,
it puts the rescue personnel and danger. Of course, it
puts them in danger. There's a lot of issues here.
So I hope that people that they take heed and
they listen to this. The powerful storm could hit Florida
as early as tomorrow, and maybe more destructive and deadly

(02:15):
than Hurricane Helene, which ripped through parts of the Sunshine
State last week.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Of course into the Carolinas as well.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
This woman emphasized the mayor that attempting to write up
the storm would not could prove fatal. The time to
flee is now. Some of the forecasts predict a title
surge of ten to twelve feet, and Helene's title surge
was only six feet. I say only and look at
all the damage that it did. Milton is already the
second strongest golf hurricane in recorded history, and experts believe

(02:45):
it will only grow stronger as it approaches Florida. The
storm's winds are already one hundred and eighty miles an hour,
with heavy downpours also expected, and already a long line
of cars on the road last night and shelves and
supermarkets across the area were barren from panic buying as well.

Speaker 6 (03:01):
So this is really serious. I have a question, how
do they name the hurricanes? Like, I know, it's like
alphabetical everything, and it's I think the names are predetermined.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Girl, guy, right, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (03:10):
I don't know a good question if they should like
like they should be like mean, like Milton's not threaten
this time, Like, yeah, make me want to leave?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
You know what I'm saying, what your name?

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Will you tell me?

Speaker 3 (03:26):
I might die?

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I was gonna say that. I'm really not concerned about
the meanness of the name. By the way, what's a
mean name? Like Chad, Chad Helen. I'm not really worried
about that.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
I mean, we just saw an awful one. So if
you don't leave now, I mean, Lord Jesus.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Meteorologists follow in alphabetical system, starting with an a name
for the first hurricane and the season. The Hurricane Committee
at the World Meteorological Organization selects common names that are
familiar to people in the affected regions, short distinctive names
that shows into streamline messaging and communications. The names come
on a six year rotation, with certain names permanently retired
after severe storms, so he wouldn't have another.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Katrina or something like that. Got it.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, So there you go. That's how you do it.
The cost of buying a Mega Million's ticket, it's gonna
go up. It's gonna more than double. Actually, A lottery
officials said that they're confident that players won't mind paying
more after changes that will lead to larger prizes and
more frequent winners. The lottery officials announced on Monday that
it will cost five dollars to play the Mega Millions
beginning in April, up from the current two dollars per ticket.

(04:28):
The price increase will be one of many changes to
Mega Millions that officials will say will result in any
improved jackpot odds, more frequent giant prizes, and even larger payouts.
So they have no plans to change the game's odds
or I guess the two dollars or power I'm sorry,
this is Mega Millions. I always get them confused. So

(04:49):
power Ball is not going to change their price at all.
Let me see, I need a theme song for the
Mega Millions here. I don't know, let me see here,
we'll see if I have this song here that I.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Want, oh I do? Hey, Kaylin, I have a question
for you.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
So the magamillions now is going to be five dollars,
It's going to go up in price. I'm just curious
what I need If I would buy one today for
five dollars? How would I go about doing that? Okay,
I'll be honest. Right there, I confuse Maga millions and powerable,
So I don't even know that I would know how
to do it now, But how would you do it?

Speaker 6 (05:25):
All?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Right?

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Hey, Fred, you're you're working at the Bordego.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Right, but no, I understood the role play that we're
doing now, Yes, hi, ma'am.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
How may I help you?

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Oh ma'am? Jesus, Yeah, I look rough today.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I've never seen a hotter patron in my life. By
the way, well thank you. Why are you buying blue Choo?

Speaker 4 (05:43):
You know that's for later?

Speaker 2 (05:44):
But Bluetoo and gatorade is and Plan B? What's this about? Okay?

Speaker 5 (05:50):
Preemptive Plan B is crazy break glass in case of emergency.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
And I want to frozen coke as well. But can
I please get one ticket.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
To the Magma Millions, to the Mega millions the multiplier
and I want the computers to pick for me.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Is that kind of right?

Speaker 6 (06:08):
Here's your losing ticket, ma'amaking you.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Off that I always liked the computer. I do the
what do they call it? Quick pick?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
I do that, Yes, I do that. I don't I
mean what I don't? Does it really matter, like if
I pick the numbers or that they pick the numbers.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
No, the odds are the same, right, Well, some.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
People do believe they play the same numbers, and I
think if you play the same numbers all the time,
then your the odds get better. But yes, I always
look at the numbers that win and go. I never
would have picked any of those numbers anyway, Like there's
no birthdays in there, or no none of my favorite
numbers or whatever else.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
So like, yeah, I think that was pretty good. Wasn't
it getting better? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (06:43):
Maybe I'm finally ready to actually buy one because.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
I'm too nervous now that cost money? You like your
you guys.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
My best friend drove up started to grab the door
and then ran out because she got too nervous, Like
this is a thing we don't know how to order.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah, I'm the same way.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
But here's the exciting part is, as we mentioned, before,
like when they're really big, if you just walk in
and just kind of stand there, they already and hand
the money. They already know what to do, like they're
just doing it all day, so you don't really have
to say anything.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Then they do.

Speaker 6 (07:09):
They have the machine that then they had those big
kiosks that spit out the lott of tickets.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
You know, the scratch off ones.

Speaker 6 (07:14):
You could buy a Mega millions or powerball ticket on
that machine to just put your money in the press. Yes,
you know what a scratch off is, right.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
But I didn't know I could get the big ones
with the scratch off, the big winnings.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
No, like they sell they sell Mega million. They sell
a lot of tickets in that machine.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
You're really trying to confuse.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Helpful and someone just I don't need the Mega millions
when I have Jason's NFL picks.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
No, just go the opposite and they'll be fine.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yea, you go, that's good money.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Did you guys want to know where the worst drivers are?

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Because I can tell you consumer affair, you're left calculated
right on my right? Well, I don't know, but I
can assure you maybe right and left they calculated a
crash score for each city by analyzing data from the
Nonational Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The data included the number
of fatalities related to crashes per one hundred thousand people,

(08:06):
the number of fatal crashes due to bad driving, fatalities
involving positive blood alcohol content, blah.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Blah blah blah, it bad.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
For the second year in a row, Memphis, Tennessee ranked
as a city with the worst drivers. Montana was the
state with the worst drivers.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Hey, it's this open road open. There aren't even that
many people there. How are you running into people? There
aren't that many people there.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Horses Missouri the first Midwestern state on the list, Maine
at number twenty five the first from the northeast. So
the top five worst cities for driving Memphis, Victorville, California, Macon, Georgia,
San Bernardino, California, and Jackson, Mississippi. And along the same lines,
different thing, but I saw today the most haunted roads

(08:52):
in America. If you're looking to do that. Car rental
Company sixth says that it's a winding ten mile stretch
in West Milford, New Jersey. There are tales of a
paranormal of numerous paranormal activities on the Clinton Road, including
phantom headlights and a ghost boy who throws coins at
drivers from dead Man's Curve. They're four in Florida, one

(09:15):
in Wisconsin, Ray Road in Wisconsin, and then aug Road
in Kansas and Blood Alley in Arizona. Oh, if you
want to if you believe in that haunted kind of
stuff and you want to go do all that.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Then the Blood Alley compared to where you're from, I.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Don't know where Blood Alley is. Let's see.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Let me look that up. Blood Alley? Where is it?
Ruf you lookup where Blood Alliens? I'm hosting the show.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
Blood Alley, Arizona, okay US nine blood Allen Road.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh may oh that's the road. Yeah, Blood Only Room.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
And guys, have you ever you see videos like this
on on TikTok all the time? Like people who they
start feeding the baby deer and then the baby deer
gets grown up and the baby deer still comes back
and then brings its babies and the whole thing. Because
have you ever been like this? Have you ever fed?
Do you believe a consistent like one animal all the time?
Is there a wild animal in your life that you

(10:06):
just have to feed? Here. So you have a pet squirrel,
I did. Okay, this story is for you when you
were younger, when you were grown up. Oh and do
you know what happened to the pet squirrel.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
No, he just went away one day.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
He went away one day. Well, this is why he
went away. He went away to get his friends. Because
a woman living in Washington State was recently invaded by
over one hundred raccoons, raccoons, raccoons, bison. The woman said
that she had been feeding raccoons in the area for
almost four decades, and last week she was surrounded by
the animals and so scared she contacted authorities for help.

(10:38):
So deputies eventually came to her rescue after she was
forced to run away in her car and escape the raccoons.
The woman told deputies that she's been feeding nearby raccoons
for about thirty five years and didn't experience the inundation
until about six weeks ago. The raccoons surrounded her day
and night, demanding food.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
The deputy said.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
They referred to her as the Washington State referred her
to too, the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife
to help find a solution, but she became so prolific
in the raccoon community that they all decided to show
up for six weeks and they wouldn't leave until they
were all fed racon They demanded food from this woman
and she ran away. So maybe this is why, because

(11:17):
they become conditioned or they become dependent upon you feeding them,
which is maybe why you shouldn't do it. And then
you got to do all that. You got to call
the people, they got to Oh my gosh, you get
to flee the scene. One hundred raccoons. It's National Perogi
day to day. Oh National fluffer not our Day, which
we look up every year out of do we determine
what that is?

Speaker 4 (11:34):
It's isn't it marshmallow fluff?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Marshmallow flusher? If marshmallow fluffing? And National Hero Day? Where
is Blood Alley? By the way, Blood Alley? I have
it it?

Speaker 4 (11:43):
No, I have it. It's Highway eighty nine.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
It cuts through the desert hills of Arizona, and I
guess because it's sharp corners, through canyons and over quickly.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
A Sunday, We're going to do a new thing on
the show Rufio.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
When you have a question that you ask out loud,
Google it first, then ask the question and then give
us the answer.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
No, I do that because that's that way.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
I don't have to do it while I'm reading and
Esnational Hero Day honors the real life heroes to inspire
us to be the best person we can be. That's
what you do for me every day, Rufio. Oh, I
do that. Yeah, I'm your hero. I am higher girl
name aim Higher. You know what, You're my hero.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
You can be my hero, baby.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
